Ford Focus Estate - Turbo Boost Underpressure - Essex Welderman

i have a 06 plate ford focus diesel estate 1.6TDCI, the turbo is working but when you get upto 2500 to 3000 revs the turbo seams to stop working and the car goes in to limp mode, i have put the car on a scanner and that shows up a fault code that states "boost low pressure/ underpressure, when its in limp mode and turn off the engine for a few minuites, then restart it it runs fine again untill you reach 2500 to 3000 revs and it starts again. the car has covered 156000 miles an has been a good car untill now.

has anyone had this same problem and cured it?

with this milage the cars not worth a Ford Bill.

keith.

EGR ,Actuator, turbo take your pick the fault codes are because its dropped onto LHM not the reason.I would start with the EGR its probably the cheapest and you may be kucky and it may just need cleaning.
